Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce
Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce
Butternut squash is a heart-healthy choice, loaded with vitamin C and fiber.
I make this sauce in a large batch, store in a mason jar for up to 5 days in the fridge before freezing for later use.
My favorite pairing with this sauce is chickpea or brown rice pasta.
